Roanoke leaders work with businesses to improve safety
Safety is a top concern for small businesses downtown like Ernie’s.
“Shootings happen everywhere, unfortunately, we’re no different,” Ernie’s Co-Owner Scotty Smith said.
City council member Joe Cobb was part of a meeting with more than three dozen business owners to address safety concerns shortly following the shooting.
“We want to make sure that businesses throughout our city have input and can be a part of the solution,” Roanoke City Councilor Joe Cobb said.

Show will feature trophies, food, and music
–Hot rods, antique cars, and other classics will be featured at the Golden State Classics Car Show in Paso Robles on Saturday, July 17, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. About 175 cars and trucks will be displayed in the Woodland Plaza II shopping center near the vacant JC Penney building in Paso Robles.
“We really appreciate Borjon Auto Center joining us as a title sponsor,” said Scotty Smith, club president. “Their support enabled us to have this show.”
Golden State Classics Car Club was unable to present the annual Memorial Day cruise and car show for the last two years due to Covid regulations. “That was tough on our club and the community,” said Smith. “We are excited about this July event since we just couldn’t imagine going another year without a show.” The Memorial Day cruise and show will be back in 2022 with Kings Oil Tools as a title sponsor.
